Posties continue strike

Workers in rural towns have joined the nationwide industrial action over pay and work conditions.

It includes bans on working overtime, checking postage and sorting parcels.

Joan Doyle from the Communications Workers Union says it is expected to affect today's shifts as well.

"We're only asking people to do one shift, it's very hard for people to lose money when they're low paid workers and it's Christmas time but people feel very determined, we've been trying to get an enterprise agreement from Australia Post for three whole years," she said.
